Harrodsburg, Kentucky – November 20, 2003 – Bay West has recently joined the Green Hotels Association® as an ally vendor.
Bay West was offered membership as a result of its EcoSoft™ Green Seal® line of paper towel and tissue products recently certified by Green Seal, Inc., in Washington, D.C. The EcoSoft™ Green Seal® towel and tissue products are 100% recycled and meet or exceed the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s guidelines for post-consumer waste content. In addition, the products are produced with deinking and bleaching processes free of chlorine and other harmful chemicals, and feature environmentally preferable packaging. These attributes make the EcoSoft™ Green Seal® products among the most environmentally preferable products lines available in the hotel and hospitality industry. “Bay West is pleased to be the first paper company invited to join the ‘Green’ Hotels Association®,” said Mark Stanland, Bay West director of marketing. “Our EcoSoft™ Green Seal® paper towels and tissue products will allow us to directly support the green purchasing programs and practices of member hotels and lodging facilities.”
The Green Hotels Association® encourages, supports and promotes ecological consciousness in the hospitality industry through its trade association and Catalog of Environmental Products for the Lodging Industry. Because general managers, chief engineers and executive housekeepers often do not have the time and resources to find all ideas for conserving natural resources and reducing waste, the Green Hotels Association® has devoted itself to that task. “The ‘Green’ Hotels Association® welcomes Bay West and is honored to have such a valuable green vendor ally,” said Patricia Griffin, president of the Green Hotels Association®. “Bay West’s EcoSoft™ Green Seal® products now offer our membership a complete line of environmentally preferable paper towels and tissue for use in guest rooms, food service operations, and meeting facilities.”
Bay West offers a complete line of towel, tissue, wiper, soap and dispensing systems for the away-from-home washroom market.
